Here’s what you’ll need :

• Assist with any or all of the Level 1 tasks as constrained by technical training and previous testing experience.

• Conduct research into and apply knowledge of Government test and evaluation concepts and related engineering, acquisition, and operations activities as needed to support the T&E activities.

• Plan and Execute Performance Analysis.

• Review planned acquisition approaches to support T&E schedule alignment with decision maker needs for T&E support.

• Analyze performance risk areas to focus on T&E planning.

• Specify, validate, and adapt Modeling and Simulation for T&E use.

• Apply Statistical Analysis of variations in performance behavior to characterize confidence in performance estimates.

• Select, develop, and use analysis tools.

• Execute the evaluation plan on data collected by the Testing Tasks.

• Plan and Execute Performance Data Collections.

• Plan program and event level testing for collection of data required for analysis and to sync T&E events with supported decision points.

• Establish and employ Data & Configuration Management capabilities.

• Support Data Authentication group functions; and comply with program Discrepancy Reporting criteria and processes.

• Assess operational and system performance requirements for testability and criticality to frame and prioritize T&E objectives and enable evaluation planning.

• Coordinate with program Systems Engineering (SE) and review T&E related SE information to leverage functional analysis, system descriptions, parameter selection and dependencies, Modeling and Simulation, and initial performance risk assessments to inform evaluation planning.

• Assess operational environments and priorities for evaluation attention and scenario selection, and to coordinate user participation in T&E.

• Plan program and event level risk-tailored performance estimation and analysis of system and operational Effectiveness and Suitability metrics and conditions; levels of T&E include inspection, demonstration, paper analysis, survey, simulation, and physical test.

• Design surveys for evaluation of Subject Matter Expert (SME) input and user assessments of performance.

• Participate in the T&E Working-level Integrated Product Team (WIPT) and/or Integrated Test Team for coordination of evaluation plans.

• Produce Evaluation Plans (metric framework, scenarios/threads, timelines, requirements/T&E cross-walk), Analysis Plans, Data Requirements,

• Risk Assessments, Evaluation Reports, Status reports; provide input to Government T&E products (e.g., Technology Readiness Assessments,

• Test & Evaluation Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, T&E Plans & Procedures and Test Readiness Reports).

• Design data sampling schemes to optimize the information/resource balance and to control testing uncertainties.

• Select, coordinate, and calibrate Instrumentation, collection and data management tools, targets, & facilities.

• Ensure test readiness including, training of test event participants re-conduct of the event; equipment readiness, and security, legal, and privacy compliance arrangements.

• Participate in T&E WIPT and/or Integrated Test Team for coordination of data collection plans.

• Execute Testing and Data Collection per plan.

• Produce associated Test Plans, Procedures, and Reports/Briefing, Data Management Plan.

• Define and provide technical direction and guidance for the Level 1 tasks to the Level 0 and Level 1 TEs assigned to the task.

• Recommend draft plans and reports from the Level 1 tasks for approval by the task leader.

• Work directly with the Government sponsor to coordinate task implementation.

• Maintain knowledge of current and evolving agency, national and international standards applicable to the system development of interest.

• Provide overall leadership of the T&E task and serve as primary liaison to the government for supporting contract coordination and task execution.

• Communicate issues and solutions to the broader government and contract management structure as requested by Leadership.

• Ensure the appropriate level of independence of the team from the solution provider to support government management of objectivity risk.

• Manage T&E resources and tasks; ensure quality assurance of test processes and products.

• Coordinate and integrate Evaluation and Testing tasks and products.

• Participate in T&E WIPT and/or Integrated Test Team as needed to ensure proper coordination of T&E activities.

• Drive innovation and responsiveness to program changes and evolving T&E status to help manage program risk: develop alternative courses of action, work-arounds, and fall-back positions with a recommended course of action for each risk, and monitor and re-evaluate risks as appropriate milestones.
